Department of Health
our Vision
The Department of Health aims to help tribal members improve their overall health and wellness so they can live long, happy lives.
The Department of Health is described as a “body in motion.” Our department has diverse programs all contributing to the health and wellness of our Tribal community, their families, and the greater community. Likened to the weaving of a basket, our story has made an imprint within the hearts of our members. Through the continued creation, collaboration, and dedicated commitment of our growing Health Warriors, we are weaving the pattern of Wellness for all.
